My journey with the LORD has been one with massive twists and unexpected turns. It was a life consumed with lack of commitment, passion-driven, reckless behaviors, and so on. I knew of Him, but the noise I kept around me drowned out His guidance and correction. Out of frustration, my life made a significant change in 1999. I cannot say it was because of one thing, but the sum of my choices backed me to a wall, focused my attention on reality, and I could no longer patch the situations I had created for myself.A Shadow of Death shares a part of my journey that launched me into a deeper understanding that God has always been with me, He is with me, and I am confident that He will always be with me. My journey continues but with a different outlook.I pray A Shadow of Death causes you to reflect upon your choices and current situations in life. Then, accept the challenge to ask yourself the question: Is He with me? Who's leading and who should be following? Do I want to change and have a better life, or have I become content with current circumstances?May the LORD guide you on this quest for answers, and may you know Him as LORD, Father, King, and Friend.
